By VIKAAS SHANKER PLAINFIELD – Eric Withaar said he was surprised by the overcrowding of sports fields in Plainfield when picking up his daughters from soccer practice two years ago.

Now, he leads a group that wants to build a 346,847-square-foot indoor sports facility in town by 2016.

Withaar said he noticed 10 teams taking turns practicing on two soccer fields that day when he picked up his daughters.

“I thought, ‘You know what, I think we’re better than this,’ ” Withaar said. “I personally got tired of people driving around and out of Plainfield for sports events.”

Last year Withaar and a group of private residents formed the Plainfield Sports Facility Group, which has already poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into determining how Plainfield and surrounding communities could benefit from a new sports facility.

Using research from Florida-based Sports Facilities Ad-

visory as well as other indoor sports facility owners, PSFG says the facility could become an economic engine for Plainfield with the village population expected to increase 57 percent in the next 20 years.

“We’re still working through it,” said Withaar, the managing member of PSFG. “There’s a lot of support for something like this not just in Plainfield, but in Naperville, Joliet, Bolingbrook and Oswego.”

Romeoville recently opened its 77,000-square-foot Athletic and Events Center.

But the proposed Plainfield facility would be more than four times that size.

The project as it stands today would be a multi-milliondollar project and would hold three full-size soccer fields, accommodating local youth, amateur and professional sports teams and tournaments.

It would be finished sometime in 2015 or 2016.

While PSFG would run the facility, Withaar said the group hopes to form a public-private partnership between the group, the village of Plainfield, Plainfield Township Park District and several private entities.

The village would help secure the land and would be positioned as the primary owner of the complex. Withaar said he has been discussing the project with Mayor

Michael Collins and Village Administrator Brian Murphy.

The park district could help win grants to fund the facility, secure naming rights, and provide day programming to utilize the facility when private organizations aren’t using it.

The facility would be located northwest of downtown in the empty land between the railroad tracks and Van Dyke and Wood Farm roads. It would be funded through private investments and grants at no cost to taxpayers, according to the plan.

Withaar said PSFG has already recruited several sports teams and groups that have signed nonbinding letters of intent to use the facility if it is built.

PSFG members presented the project plan to park board commissioners Wednesday.

“It sounds like a great idea,” park board President Mary Kay Ludemann said.

Interim Executive Director Richard Grodsky said he is looking forward to working with PSFG on how the park district can get involved.

“For us as a park district, we can occupy [the facility] with programs during the day when private groups don’t usually plan events,” said parks Director of Recreation Cheryl Crisman. “We’re excited about the opportunity to do amazing things there.”

Gov. Pat Quinn announced Thursday that $1.7 million in state funding would be given to construction projects at Joliet Junior College and Governors State University.

Nine rooftop heating and air conditioning units will be replaced at the JJC City Center, according to a news release. Amber Mechanical Contractors, Inc. of Alsip was the lowest of six bidders with a quote of $188,000.

Campus roads and sidewalks will be improved at GSU for $1.6 million by Chicago Heights Construction Company, the lowest of three bidders. The work will include construction of a south entrance, creating a western campus railroad overpass, repairing Alumni Path, and installing traffic signals and lights at University Drive and Stuenkel Road, according to the news release.

Ballpark boost Slammers want bigger crowds, more food sales

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Even though they’ll still field nine men on the diamond for Friday’s season opener, the Joliet Slammers are anticipating a whole new ballgame this year.

While the Slammers hope to improve on last year’s 3857 record, the real number they’re hoping to increase is 1,997, last year’s average daily attendance.

“We’re pushing really hard to get attendance up 20 percent year over year,” said Nick Semaca, team co-owner and president. “I’ll be shocked if we don’t.”

Preseason ticket sales already have risen 12 percent over last year, said Chris Franklin, the team’s general manager. Advance group sales also appear to be better than in 2013, though the team won’t have a handle on numbers until July, he said.

Season ticket sales also ap-

pear to be going well.

“We’re the only team in the league, that I know of, that renewed 100 percent of our individual season tickets,” said Josh Schaub, team co-owner and CEO. Having a more competitive team can only help.

Under new coach Jeff Isom, the team went 4-3 in this year’s exhibition season. The Slammers won four of their last five games, including a 10-1 victory Tuesday over Schaumburg, the defending Frontier League champion.

“On paper we’re looking like a much-improved team over last, so I am very excited about that,” Semaca said.

Concession concerns But from a business perspective, spoons and forks take precedence over bats and balls.

“This is dinner theater,” Franklin said. “We want you to come out and have dinner and then enjoy the theater performance, which just happens to be baseball.”

In the past, food services at Silver Cross Field were handled by outside vendors. This season, food will be prepared in-house. The Slammers hired 70 new employees just for food services, including two chef advisers from the Joliet Junior College culinary department.

Franklin said the change will allow the stadium to serve a better variety of food more quickly. One of the biggest fan gripes in 2013 was long wait times in food lines, primarily due to credit and debit card transactions, which took up to 45 seconds each to process.

See SLAMMERS, page 16

Any Slammers who dream about becoming the next Babe Ruth should keep in mind he had a lot of fun in Joliet – on and off the field.

The ballplayer against whom all others are measured was the one to inaugurate night baseball here, though that was years after his first documented visit.

On July 31, 1922, the New York Yankees finished a three-game set against the White Sox at Comiskey Park.

Ruth went 3-for-9 in the series with one homer and three walks. The next day would be an off day while the team traveled to Cleveland.

But Ruth walked over to outfielder Whitey Witt after the last game and said, “A friend of mine is havin’ a ham ’n cabbage dinner out at his brewery tonight,” Witt told author Kal Wagenheim in “Babe Ruth: His Life and Legend.”

Ruth then pointed to a man named Kelly who’d been traveling with the players, playing cards, offering good tips on horse races, and buying shirts and neckties in an attempt to make friends. Ruth told Witt to bring Kelly along if he wanted.

Lloyd Kelly was actually a private detective hired by Yankees owner Cap Huston

VIEWS Brian Stanley to spy on the players and report back on their wild nightlife.

Ruth, Witt, Lefty O’Doul and Bob Meusel arrived that evening for the party at the E. Porter Brewing Company on South Bluff Street in Joliet.

Why a brewery was open in the middle of Prohibition would’ve probably been a good question for a police officer like N.J. Fornango ... who also was at the party.

In the middle of the festivities, Kelly proposed a group photo, and the Yankees, the cop and private eye gathered for an image that would prove their presence in Joliet in the early morning hours of Aug. 1, 1922.

Ruth and the other Yankees weren’t happy when team management began disciplining them a few days later with Kelly’s reports and used the photo as evidence. The photo first appeared to the public in a 1950 issue of Collier’s, but later appeared in The Herald-News.

Police: 85-year-old man’s death a homicide

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CRETE TOWNSHIP – The apparent homicide of an 85-year-old man was discovered this week when he did not show up as usual for his church group, police said.

Alfred Hilton was found in his Crete Township home on Wednesday.

Hilton was a regular volunteer at a church group that met on Tuesday nights, and his unexplained absence this week caused concern among the members, said Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas.

“Around 6:12 p.m. Wednesday, a friend went to his house in the 3200 block of East Bemes Road and discovered he was deceased inside. It appears he was the victim of a homicide,” Kaupas said.

The house appeared ransacked and detectives believe Hilton, who lived alone, was robbed.

On Thursday afternoon, fire department divers were called to search a pond at the edge of Hilton’s property, which is within yards of the Indiana border. Kaupas said the pond search was “precautionary” and divers left around 5 p.m. without making any apparent discoveries.

“There are no arrests at this time, but it is a very active investigation,” Kaupas said late Thursday afternoon.

Neighbor Butch Batterman said he was “shocked and horrified” to learn what happened to Hilton. Batterman had known his neighbor since the victim moved in over 25 years ago.

“He kept to himself, but was completely a gentleman.

He was a good neighbor,” Batterman said.

He described Hilton as a handyman who had done a lot of work on his own property since retiring from the Ford Motor Company plant in Chicago Heights.

Will County OKs new New trustee fills vacant seat court fee to aid CASA WILL COUNTY

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Incoming Will County Board member Darren Bennefield said he has “big shoes to fill” after being appointed to the board on Thursday.

Bennefield replaces Lee Ann Goodson, who resigned last month.

“Lee Ann has left some big shoes to fill,” said Bennefield, who was sworn in during the board’s Thursday meeting by Will County Associate Judge Dave Carlson.

“But I feel I am up to that task.”

Goodson was first elected to the board in 2002, and served as majority whip from 2011 to 2012. Bennefield’s appointment comes nearly a month after Goodson accepted a job as director of com-

munity and government relations for Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare.

Bennefield, of Plainfield, is leaving his post as a trustee on the Wheatland Township Board.

That experience helped prepare him for the County Board, he said.

“I feel that the township Darren has set the Bennefield foundation and has given me a better understanding of how I can be useful here at the board,” he said. “I’ve also been attending the [County Board] meetings as a citizen and trying to get up to speed. I’ve also had a couple of board members take some time and work with me on some of the issues.”

Bennefield will serve out the remainder of Goodson’s term this year. He was slated as Goodson’s running mate on the Republican side of the ballot in the November election.

He remains on the ballot and will work to retain his seat, he said. One Democrat, incumbent Reed Bible of Plainfield, also is on the ballot for the two County Board seats in District 5.

It’s now up to Republican precinct committeemen in Plainfield and Wheatland townships to choose who replaces Goodson on the ballot.

The township will accept resumes until May 27. Eligible candidates must be Republican, registered voters and residents of the township for at least one year. The board will then interview applicants at its June meeting.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Heading to Will County Court could cost more after the Will County Board approved a new $15 fee on Thursday.

The proposed fee would be earmarked for the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Will County, or CASA, a program that assists children who are in the juvenile court system as a result of abuse or neglect.

Through an amendment approved Thursday, board members narrowed down the types of offenses subject to the fee by excluding petty and business offenses. That places the CASA fee more in line with other fees associated with the county’s drug and mental health courts, said

Reed Bible, D-Plainfield.

The fee would be charged to people found guilty of felonies and certain misdemeanors. It would be charged for Class A, B or C misdemeanors when a court appearance is required.

It would not apply to petty or business offenses.

The proposed fee is expected to generate about $50,000 annually and allow CASA to expand its program. CASA, which works with the county court system, will use the funds to hire additional staff and train more community volunteers to represent children.

State legislation that gives county boards the authority to enact such fees passed last year, with Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Joliet, and Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, acting as key sponsors.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP

Guilty plea in fatal 2012 crash

Bill to shake up board advances

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A state bill that would immediately add two more commissioners to the Plainfield Township Park District board passed the Senate Executive Committee with a 9-5 vote Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, the park district board approved a resolution in support of the bill.

If passed by the Senate, House Bill 5593 would go to Gov. Pat Quinn’s desk to sign into law. The Senate is expected to vote in the next two weeks.

Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, said the Senate committee asked

park district board during the last 12 months as a result of the controversial votes taken by a majority of the commissioners, Peter Hurtado, Janet Silosky and Peter Steinys.

Steinys was the lone vote against the resolution in support of the park board bill.

Hurtado was not at the meeting.

But since February, the board has seen Silosky vote with the other two commissioners, Mary Kay Ludemann and Larry Newton.

And Interim Executive Director Richard Grodsky has helped stabilize operations.

Grodsky is an experienced park administrator who was working as a consultant before coming to Plainfield.

The bill would increase the board from five to seven commissioners, with Bertino-Tarrant and Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, each appointing a new commissioner.

JOLIET – A driver had heroin and Vicodin in his system when he caused a fatal traffic crash two years ago in Plainfield, according to his guilty plea Thursday.

Andrew W. Henderson, 26, of Palos Park pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated driving under the influence of drugs. In exchange, prosecutors dropped other DUI and traffic charges and agreed not to ask for a prison sentence of more than nine years.

Henderson faces up to 14 years in prison when he is sentenced Aug. 4. He also is eligible for probation.

Around 3:30 p.m. July 14, 2012, Henderson was driving a Dodge Durango west on Route 126 when he rear-ended a Nissan Altima waiting to turn onto County Line Road in Plainfield. The impact pushed the Altima into the path of a motorcycle driven by Ronald Oswald, 57, of Minooka.

Oswald was thrown from the bike and died from his injuries. The man driving the Altima and two children in the back seat had minor injuries. A woman riding in the passenger seat suffered a fractured hip, four broken ribs and serious injury to her foot, prosecutors said.

Defense attorney Jeff Tomczak said Henderson told investigators he dropped a milk bottle before the crash and state police found it

lodged under the brake pedal of his pickup.

“It’s not an excuse, but it does provide an explanation why the crash occurred,” Tomczak told Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes.

The Durango rolled over and Henderson was taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, where tests showed four different opiates in his system, including morphine, codeine and heroin. Prosecutors said Henderson told police he had taken “old Vicodin pills” earlier that day and used heroin a week or two before the crash.

Henderson allegedly showed signs of recent drug use, including needle marks, to hospital staff and did not have a prescription for any painkillers.

similar questions that were raised when the bill was going through the House of Representatives, including if the bill would set a precedent of state legislators interfering in local government.

“It’s nothing that I didn’t expect,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “Obviously the concern is about taking action at this level. I was also asked how this all came about.”

But Bertino-Tarrant said senators usually understand that each legislator knows what’s best for his or her district. And that’s why she’s hopeful the bill gets the 30 votes on the Senate floor to pass.

The park district board voted 3-1 for a resolution in support of the bill. While the district can itself expand the board to seven members, commissioners agreed to wait to see what happens with the bill.

The bill is a direct reaction to the turmoil on the

Man sought in 2 store robberies

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police said Thursday they believe the same man is responsible for daytime stickup robberies at two stores this week.

The first occurred at 12:51 p.m. Tuesday at Beauty Heaven, 422 S. Chicago St., Joliet.

Lt. Brian Dupuis said a man looked around the store for about four minutes before he took out a pistol and demanded money from a 42-year-old clerk.

The bandit came behind the counter, emptied the register and took the clerk’s cellphone and wallet.

“He then had the clerk get on the ground and flipped the register onto him and kicked him,” Dupuis said.

The man also took jewelry and clothing from a display case and left.

At 11:08 a.m. Wednesday a man came into Twin-Door Liquors, 1513 Plainfield Road,

Joliet, to buy cigars. But when the clerk opened the register, the man “pulled out a handgun, jumped the counter, racked a round into the chamber” and demanded money, Dupuis said.

Nearby witnesses reported seeing a tan or light brown car speeding away from the liquor store, police said.

“We believe it is the same suspect in both robberies,” Dupuis said Thursday.

The robber is described as a black man in his 20s with a thin mustache. He was about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. He was wearing a gray knit cap, and black pants during both robberies.

Police said he was wearing a black hoodie during the Beauty Heaven robbery and a green jacket during the TwinDoor holdup.

CREST HILL – A mother with her children in the car allegedly rammed an ex-boyfriend’s vehicle repeatedly at a Crest Hill gas station early Thursday.

Later, when a police officer was taking the woman back to the station on reckless driving charges, an allegedly drunk driver narrowly missed hitting the squad car.

Events began at 1:44 a.m. when Connie J. Purchase, 44, began arguing with her ex-boyfriend at Thornton’s Gas Station at Renwick and Weber roads, according to Crest Hill Police Chief Dwayne Wilkerson.

“Witnesses said she repeatedly rammed her Cadillac Escalade into her ex-boy-

friend’s car while her two children were in the Escalade,” Wilkerson said.

Purchase, of the 2700 block of Frontier Lane in Joliet, allegedly drove off and was stopped on 159th Street

by Lockport police.

A Crest Hill officer came to transport her and the children back to the station, Wilkerson said.

Around 2:30 a.m., the police car was on Route 7 near Clover Ridge Drive when the officer had to swerve to avoid an oncoming pickup truck, Lockport Deputy Chief Dave Draksler said.

“The green 1999 Dodge pickup crossed over the center line and nearly struck the police car head on. They missed colliding by inches,” Draksler said.

Jason M. Church, 25, then crashed into some construc-

tion barrels, according to Draksler.

Church, of the 200 block of Robson Drive in Lockport, was booked into the Will County jail on charges of aggravated reckless driving, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a suspended license, driving with open liquor and driving without insurance.

At the time of his arrest Thursday, police said, he was wanted for failing to appear in court from an arrest

by Lockport police in September 2013 on traffic violations.

Purchase was jailed on charges of endangering the life or health of a child, vandalism, reckless conduct and reckless driving. Her children were released into their father’s custody, Wilkerson said.

WILL COUNTY

JOLIET – Will County Board member Steve Balich’s yearlong effort to limit the county’s use of aerial photos has finally been put to rest.

At the County Board’s meeting Thursday, County Executive Larry Walsh presented an executive order

prohibiting the use of aerial photos to initiate investigations by the county land use department, effectively putting an end to months of debate among board members.

Balich, R-Homer Glen, who first brought the issue forward a year ago as a privacy issue, said he was pleased with the outcome.

“This was a 13-month ef-

fort,” Balich said. “In the end, Larry [Walsh] made an executive decision. To me, it’s like, I don’t care how we get there as long as we get there. This takes out the politics. It was being made into a Republican, Democrat issue, but in reality, it was not. It’s a people issue.”

The County Board’s Judicial Committee last week appeared to kill the proposed

Police: Fake cash operation found

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police say two men were caught driving around with their own counterfeiting operation Wednesday.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said tactical officers stopped a gray 2004 Pontiac Grand Am at 9:48 p.m. after the driver swerved into the oncoming lane in the 3100 block of Essington Road.

Roechner said officers noticed a strong odor of marijuana and found the driver, Brody A. Gilmore, 18, had a cigarette pack with two baggies of marijuana inside it.

“They also found Gilmore had eight counterfeit $10 bills in his wallet,” Roechner said.

Police searched the vehicle before towing it and said they found a duffle bag in the

trunk that contained a printer, paper, ink cartridges and razor blades.

“And on the floorboards by the passenger seat there was paper that had misprinted dollar bills with obvious errors,” Roechner said.

Gilmore and his passenger, Gregory E. Evans, 28, reportedly admitted making $10, $20 and $50 bills to make purchases at businesses in Joliet and receive legitimate currency in change.

Gilmore also reportedly admitted passing two fake $10 bills on May 11 at McDonald’s, 2885 Plainfield Road.

Gilmore, of the 3500 block of Legacy Drive in Joliet, and Evans, of the 200 block of Hickory Street in Park Forest, were booked into the Will County jail on charges of forgery and money laundering.

Finding other uses for stadium is a goal • SLAMMERS

The Joliet Slammers grounds crew prepares the infield before an exhibition game May 9 at Silver Cross Field.

Under new coach Jeff Isom, the team went 4-3 in this year’s exhibition season.

Continued from page 3 “We had complaints last year about the lines,” Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante said.

“I think they’ve got that straightened out.”

Franklin said owners have addressed the problem by putting in new cashier machines that can process transactions in 2 to 3 seconds.

“I’ve always said lines are good,” Franklin said. “Making sure they move is the important thing.”

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@ shawmedia.com

Focus on value Team owners have held the line on almost all food prices except for hot dogs. Pizza prices have been halved.

They also added all-youcan-eat options in the new beer garden and picnic area, and to some ticket packages. Season ticket holders get 20-ounce drinks for $2 under another promotion. Skybox patrons now have a venue to purchase individual food items and bar drinks, including wine by the glass.

“We really listened to fans about providing value,” Schaub said. “We continue to hammer value.”

On Wednesday, for instance, the Slammers announced the “starting lineup for beer” at the team’s new beer garden. The venue offers an all-you-can-eat menu plus five beers for $38.

Other promotions are offered on a daily basis: free meals for children on Sundays, $2 tickets on Tuesdays, $2 domestic beers on Thursdays, fireworks and $10 in free slot play at Harrah’s Casino on Fridays, and free entertainment on Saturdays.

“To us this represents terrific value,” Semaca said. “[Fans can] go to a nice stadium and see a fun, exciting baseball team for a fraction of what you would pay at Cellular Field or Wrigley Field.”

Renewing interest Another challenge is renewing fan interest in the 12-year-old venue. The stadium operated from 2002 to 2010 under the Joliet JackHammers, and from 2011 on under the Joliet Slammers. New ownership took

By the numbers Nine relevant numbers for the Joliet Slammers’ 2014 season:

n $2: Cheapest tickets, available on Two Dollar Tuesdays. n 6: Number of states with teams in the Frontier League – Illinois,

Missouri, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

n 16: Number of states – plus the Dominican Republic and Venezuela –

that players on the Slammers’ opening day roster come from.

n 54: Number of home games at Silver Cross Field. n 62: Varieties of beer available in the new beer garden. They include

domestics, specialties and craft beers, such as Tasting Room Mid Coast IPA, Ska Special Ale, Conundrum Mamas Lil Yella Pils or a Left Handed 400 Pound Monkey. n 350 dozen: Number of baseballs ordered for the season. n 494: Number of miles for team’s farthest 2014 road trip (Washington, Penn., home of the Washington Wild Things). n 650: Estimated loads of team laundry for the 2014 season. n 3,080: Number of loaves of Milano Bakery bread expected to be used by stadium restaurants.

over in October 2012.

“When the JackHammers started there was a lot of excitement,” Giarrante said.

“Joliet is a baseball town, there is no question about it.

But after a while it kind of died down a bit. I really believe the new owners are going to regenerate that enthusiasm.”

One way of doing that is looking beyond baseball. The Slammers will host two concerts at the venue on Aug. 14 and 15. The music acts are set to be announced at today’s opener.

The Slammers also will host $1 movie nights on Fridays when there is no home game, the Dutch Women’s National Softball Team on July 14, Hopstring Fest – a craft beer and roots rock music festival – on Aug. 23, and the Big Brothers Big Sisters Big Amazing Race in July.

“Getting beyond the core business is really important to us because we manage that field 365 days per year,” Schaub said. “I told the City Council two years ago that we’d bring in extra events, so we’re bringing in extra events.”

The stadium also plays host to a variety of other sports events. The University of St. Francis and more than 30 local high school teams have played there this spring, Franklin said. The 3A and 4A Illinois High School Association State Baseball Finals will be held there June 13-14.

Youth soccer teams play on the field in the spring and fall during the off-season.

Community involvement The team also has placed an emphasis on reaching out to the community.

Team autograph sessions

will be offered after every home game, Semaca said.

And kids will be allowed to run the bases at the time.

Giveaways and other promotions are planned for each home game. Saturday, for instance, is Blues Brothers Night, where the first 500 fans get free sunglasses. On Sunday, fans will receive Bark in the Park magnets.

The Slammers also plan to include a map with a directory of downtown restaurants and attractions with all purchases from The Clink, the team’s concourse-level pro shop.

A large directory and map with QR codes for smart phones also will be featured in The Clink’s windows, said Pam Owens, executive director of City Center Partnership, one of the team’s sponsors.

“We’re branding The Clink as a downtown visitor center,” Owens said. “We know a lot of people coming to games might not be familiar with the downtown.

We’re hoping they’ll stay for a while.”

A downtown business will be featured next to the team’s autograph table, and the Slammer’s public address system will give a couple of “shout outs” for the downtown during each game, Owens said.

Finally, the team itself will be getting more involved in the community, Semaca said.

Last week, players in team jerseys spent Friday afternoon picking up litter during City Center Partnership’s annual Downtown Cleanup Day.

The Bambino had some fun in Joliet in his day • BABE RUTH Continued from page 3 Fornango apparently escaped discipline and was named police chief a few years later.

And Ruth didn’t hold any ill will toward the area. A photo in The Herald-News archives shows him posing with four boys at the ballpark during his playing days. One of the boys is wearing a ribbon that reads “Champion-Will County.”

The Bambino returned to Joliet on June 20, 1940, as part of an exhibition game opening St. Joe’s Park at Raynor Avenue and Theodore Street.

Preview stories and advertisements about the home run champion’s appearance occupied space in The Herald-News throughout the month.

And it’s accurate to say readers looked on the front page that morning to see the “idol of young America” kneeling down in his Yankees uniform with a Joliet youth.

Joe DiMaggio had posed for a picture after batting practice at Comiskey Park the day before with Richard Schwab, the Will County marbles champion who received tickets to the game from The Herald-News.

But Ruth, who’d retired with the Boston Braves in 1935, was well-covered in the sports section the next day. He arrived with former Cubs players James “Hippo” Vaughn and Bob O’Farrell and “spent the first two innings pacing up and down near the St. Joe’s bench in an old brown blanket [before he] shook off the covering and revealed a New York Yankees uniform,” the paper reported.

About 1,000 shivering fans endured temperatures in the 40s to watch while members of the St. Joe’s team “scampered to the outfield to shag the Babe’s flies.”

“Ruth stepped into the batter’s box, gripped the war club firmly and began blasting out drives from O’Farrell, a couple over the center field fence,” the paper reported. “He put on a great show.”

Let’s see what Joliet baseball does this year.

Ill. House Dems reluctant to pass budget

News from across the state

Ill. Senate approves regulations for ridesharing in state

SPRINGFIELD – A plan in the Illinois Legislature that’s close to reaching the governor’s desk for approval would devastate the ridesharing industry in the state, companies including Uber, Lyft and Sidecar say.

The Senate passed a proposal with strong support Thursday that would place statewide rules on the unregulated industry that connects passengers and drivers through a smartphone app. Its burgeoning popularity in the Chicago area and across the country comes much to the chagrin of taxi company owners, who say the new innovation should play by the same rules as cabs.

The new rules would level the playing field and allow the competitors to survive, said Mara Georges, an attorney for the Illinois Transportation Trade Association, which represents taxi and chauffeur livery companies.

She also said the rules would help taxi companies keep their drivers “as opposed to having this tremendous movement ... to the ridesharing companies.”

Chicago-area veterans hospital under scrutiny

CHICAGO – Federal investigators have visited a veterans hospital in suburban Chicago to look into an allegation that secret lists were used to conceal long patient wait times for appointments.

Auditors from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General visited the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital on Wednesday. Their visit was part of a nationwide review of VA

State Rep. Dwight Kay, R-Glenn Carbon, discusses state budget legislation Thursday on the House floor at the Illinois State Capitol. Illinois House Democrats showed their reluctance to embrace an extension of the state’s income tax increase Thursday when they passed more than 70 separate spending bills to create a budget for next year by only the narrowest of margins. Despite holding a 71-47 supermajority in the chamber, Democrats supporting a budget that would be funded by extending the tax increases could muster only the minimum 60 votes to pass many bills setting spending figures for education, social services and other state programs.

facilities triggered by similar claims involving a hospital in Phoenix where a former clinic director said up to 40 veterans may have died while awaiting treatment.

The uproar has led to calls for the Veterans Affairs secretary to resign, and U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk says the claims targeting the Hines hospital are credible enough to warrant an expansion of the formal investigation targeting the Phoenix hospital.

Illinois jobless rate for April falls below 8 percent

CHAMPAIGN – Unemployment in Illinois dropped in April to its lowest level since 2008, falling to 7.9 percent, the state Department of Employment Security said Thursday.

The April jobless rate was down from 8.4 percent in March and the lowest rate the state has seen since December 2008.

The U.S. Department of Labor

said earlier this month that national unemployment fell in April to 6.3 percent. Illinois had the third highest unemployment rate in the nation in March behind only Rhode Island and Nevada.

Illinois has been struggling to rebound from the prolonged effects of the economic downturn and a slump in one of the state’s economic mainstays, manufacturing.

NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace visits Ill. Capitol

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers accustomed to the sometimes slow legislative process were visited by a celebrity known for his high-powered speed.

NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace visited the state Capitol in Springfield on Wednesday to promote higher blends of ethanol fuel. The blend is made up of 85 percent gasoline and 15 percent ethanol. Lower

blends of ethanol fuel are more common throughout Illinois.

NASCAR has exclusively used E-15 fuel during practice, qualification and races since 2011.

Wallace says increasing use of higher ethanol blends would help Illinois farmers and lower emissions.

U. of Illinois hires firm to help in presidential search

SPRINGFIELD – University of Illinois trustees have hired a Georgia-based search firm as the university looks for a new president.

The News-Gazette in Champaign reports that Parker Executive Search from Atlanta, Georgia, will work with trustees, faculty and others to identify potential candidates to replace President Robert Easter. Easter plans to retire by June 2015. The university has said it hopes to find a replacement by January.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Fast-food protests start to spread overseas NEW YORK – Labor organizers turned up the pressure on McDonald’s and other fastfood chains to raise worker pay Thursday, with plans to stage actions in more than 30 countries.

The demonstrations build on a campaign by unions to bring attention to the plight of low-wage workers and get the public behind the idea of a $15-an-hour wage.

Industry groups say such pay hikes would hurt their ability to create jobs and note that many of the participants are not workers.

The protests are being backed by the Service Employees International Union and began in New York City in late 2012.

Since then, organizers have steadily ramped up actions to keep the issue in the spotlight.

10,000 gallons of oil spill on Los Angeles streets LOS ANGELES – A geyser of oil sprayed onto buildings and puddled in knee-high pools of crude in Los Angeles streets after a valve on a high-pressure pipeline failed Thursday.

About 10,000 gallons of oil spewed 20 feet high over about half a mile of the industrial area of Atwater Village about 12:15 a.m., Fire Capt. Jaime Moore said.

Four commercial businesses near the border of Glendale were affected, as well as a strip club that was evacuated after

oil came through air vents. The parking lot was closed, and patrons and employees were forced to leave behind their crude-coated cars.

Crews were able to remotely shut off the 20-inch line after about 45 minutes.

“Inspectors went right to the failed valve. They knew right away where the problem originated,” Moore said.

Determining exactly what caused the pipeline failure would take some time, Moore said.

Authorities: Kasem found in Washington state SEATTLE – Authorities said ailing radio host Casey Kasem was on vacation – not in danger – when they found him in Washington state this week.

A Los Angeles judge on Monday expressed concerns about the whereabouts and safety of Kasem, 82, amid a dispute between his wife and children from another marriage.

But the sheriff’s office in Kitsap County, west of Seattle, tracked him down the next day.

He was at a home where he and his wife, Jean, had been staying with longtime friends, Deputy Scott Wilson said.

“We know he has an affliction, but he was alert, upright, dressed, groomed and cognizant of what was going on,” Wilson said. “We see a lot of at-risk adults and children. This wasn’t anywhere close to being suspicious.”

Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks Thursday on Capitol Hill in Washington during the committee’s hearing to examine the state of Veterans Affairs health care.

Watchdog finds no proof treatment delays killed vets The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – New complaints about long wait lists and falsified patient appointment reports have surfaced at Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics across the country, the department’s internal watchdog said Thursday, but he said there’s no proof so far that delays in treatment have caused any patient’s death.

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said he was “mad as hell” about allegations of severe problems and said he was looking for quick results from a nationwide audit. He rejected calls for him to resign and a senator’s suggestion that he call in the FBI to investigate.

At a sometimes-combative congressional hearing, Richard Griffin, the department’s acting inspector general, said that after an initial review of 17 people who died while awaiting appointments at the Phoenix VA hospital, none of

the deaths appeared to have been caused by delays in treatment.

“It’s one thing to be on a waiting list, and it’s another thing to conclude that as a result of being on the waiting list that’s the cause of death, depending on what your illness might have been at the beginning,” Griffin told the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

Griffin said his office is working off several lists of patients at the giant Phoenix facility, which treats more than 80,000 veterans a year.

He said a widely reported list of 40 patients who died while awaiting appointments “does not represent the total number of veterans that we’re looking at.”

He said his office has 185 employees working on the Phoenix case, including criminal investigators, and said he expects to have a report completed in August.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in Arizona and the Justice Department’s public integri-

ty section also are assisting in the investigation.

Since reports of the Phoenix problems came to light last month, allegations about problems at VA facilities have spread nationwide.

At least 10 new allegations about manipulated waiting times and other problems have surfaced in the past three weeks, Griffin said.

VA Secretary Shinseki told the committee he hopes to have preliminary results within three weeks on audits he ordered at the VA’s 150 medical centers and 820 community outpatient clinics nationwide in an effort to determine how widespread the treatment delays and falsified reports are.

“I’m not aware, other than a number of isolated cases, where there is evidence of that,” he replied when the committee’s chairman, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., asked bluntly if VA officials at the facilities were “cooking the books.”

Health cost controls get federal go-ahead The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has given the go-ahead for insurers and employers to use a new cost-control strategy that puts a hard dollar limit on what health plans pay for some expensive procedures, such as knee and hip replacements.

Some experts worry that such a move would surprise patients who pick more expensive hospitals. The cost difference would leave them with big medical bills that they’d have to pay themselves.

That could undercut key financial protections in President Barack Obama’s health care law that apply not just to the new health insurance exchanges, but to most job-based coverage as well.

Others say it’s a valuable tool to reduce costs and help check premiums.

Some federal regulators appear to be concerned. A recent administration policy ruling went to unusual lengths, acknowledging that the cost-control strategy “may be a subterfuge” for “other-

wise prohibited limitations on coverage.”

Nonetheless, the departments of Labor and Health and Human Services said the practice – known as reference pricing – could continue.

Plans must use a “reasonable method” to ensure “adequate access to quality providers.”

Regulators asked for public comment, saying they may publish additional guidance in the future.

HHS spokeswoman Erin Shields Britt said in a statement that the administration is monitoring the effects of reference pricing on access to quality services and will work to ensure that financial protections for consumers are not undermined.

One way the new approach is different is that it sets a dollar limit on what the health plan will pay for a given procedure.

Most insurance now pays a percentage of costs, and those costs themselves can vary from hospital to hospital.

Now if you pick a more expensive hospital, the insurance still pays the same percentage.

Parents rail against Common Core math The ASSOCIATED PRESS An Iowa woman jokingly calls it “Satan’s handiwork.”

A California mom says she’s broken down in tears. A Pennsylvania parent says it “makes my blood boil.”

What could be so horrible? Grade-school math.

As schools around the U.S. implement nation al Common Core learning standards, parents trying to help their kids with math homework say that adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing has become as complicated as calculus.

They’re stumped by unfamiliar terms like “rectangular array” and “area model.” They wrestle with division that requires the use of squares, slashes and dots. They rage over impenetrable word problems.

Stacey Jacobson-Francis, 41, of Berkeley, California, said her daughter’s homework requires her to know four different ways to add.

“That is way too much to ask of a first grader,” she said. “She can’t remember them all, and I don’t know them all, so we just do the best that we can.”

Simple arithmetic isn’t so simple anymore, leading to plenty of angst at home.

Adopted by 44 states, the Common Core is a set of English and math standards that spell out what students should know and when.

The standards for elementary math emphasize that kids should not only be able to solve arithmetic problems using the tried-andtrue methods their parents learned, but understand how numbers relate to each other.

WASHINGTON – Bill and Hillary Clinton are fighting back against critics as if they are waging another campaign, the clearest sign yet that, perhaps, they are. The former secretary of state and her former president husband are defending their records, showing off their health and humor and raising money for fellow Democrats, fresh indications that Hillary Clinton has her eye on running for president in 2016.

The onetime first lady attended her first political event of the year on Thursday, a New York fundraiser for Pennsylvania congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies, who is the motherin-law of the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea. The former president has been a steady rainmaker

“Part of what we are trying to teach children is to become problem solvers and thinkers,” said Diane Briars, president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. “We want students to understand what they’re doing, not just get the right answer.”

That’s a radically different approach than many parents are accustomed to.

Jennie Barnds, 40, of Davenport, Iowa, was puzzled by her fourth-grade daughter’s long division homework, a foreign amalgam of boxes, slashes and dots with nary a quotient or dividend in sight.

“If we are sitting there for 20 minutes trying to do a simple problem, how is an 8, 9, 10-year-old supposed to figure it out?” she said. “It’s incredibly frustrating for the student and the parent.”

Diver Susan Bird, working in June 2013 at the bottom of Hoyo Negro, a large dome-shaped underwater cave in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, brushes a human skull found at the site while her team members take detailed photographs. Thousands of years ago, a teenage girl fell into this deep hole and died. Now, her skeleton and her DNA are helping scientists study the origins of the first Americans.

Ancient skeleton sheds light on first Americans The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Thousands of years ago, a teenage girl toppled into a deep hole in a Mexican cave and died. Now, her skeleton and her DNA are bolstering the long-held theory that humans arrived in the Americas by way of a land bridge from Asia, scientists say.

The girl’s nearly complete skeleton was discovered by chance in 2007 by expert divers who were mapping water-filled caves north of the city of Tulum, in the eastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula. One day, they came across a huge chamber deep underground.

“The moment we entered inside, we knew it was an incredible place,” one of the divers, Alberto Nava, told reporters. “The floor disappeared under us and we could not see across to the other side.”

They named it Hoyo Negro, or black hole.

Months later, they returned and reached the floor of the 100-foot tall chamber, which was littered with animal bones. They came across

the girl’s skull on a ledge, lying upside down “with a perfect set of teeth and dark eye sockets looking back at us,” Nava said.

The divers named the skeleton Naia, after a water nymph of Greek mythology, and joined up with a team of scientists to research the find.

The girl was age 15 or 16 when she met her fate in a cave, which at that time was dry, researchers said. She may have been looking for water when she tumbled into the chamber some 12,000 or 13,000 years ago, said lead study author James Chatters of Applied Paleoscience, a consulting firm in Bothell, Washington. Her pelvis was broken, suggesting she had fallen a long distance, he said.

The analysis of her remains, reported Thursday in the journal Science, addresses a puzzle about the settling of the Americas.

Most scientists say the first Americans came from Siberian ancestors who lived on an ancient land bridge, now submerged, that connected Asia to Alaska across the Bering Strait. They are thought to

have entered the Americas sometime after 17,000 years ago from that land mass, called Beringia. And genetic evidence indicates that today’s native peoples of the Americas are related to these pioneers.

But the oldest skeletons from the Americas – including Naia’s – have skulls that look much different from those of today’s native peoples. To some researchers, that suggests the first Americans came from a different place.

Naia provides a crucial link. DNA recovered from a molar contains a distinctive marker found in today’s native peoples, especially those in Chile and Argentina. The genetic signature is thought to have arisen among people living in Beringia, researchers said.

That suggests that the early Americans and contemporary native populations both came from the same ancestral roots in Beringia – not different places, the researchers concluded. The anatomical differences apparently reflect evolution over time in Beringia or the Americas, they said.

SOMA, Turkey – With photos of their loved ones pinned to their chests and chanting the names of lost miners, grieving relatives laid their dead to rest in mass burials Thursday, as gravediggers labored to make room for scores more victims of Turkey’s worst mining disaster.

“The love of my life is gone,” women wailed loudly, swaying and singing improvised laments about the departed as bodies were lowered, one by one, into the freshly dug graves.

Rescue teams recovered another nine victims, raising the death toll to 283 from Tuesday’s disaster, with at least 140 miners believed still trapped underground, according to government figures.

Rage blended with grief as revulsion over poor safety conditions and what some perceived as government indifference set off protests across Turkey.

“It’s not an accident, it’s murder,” read a banner waved by trade unionists who marched through the streets of Istanbul.

The disaster has stirred up new hostility toward Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government and thrown his presidential ambitions off stride. Blackening his reputation further, Turkish newspapers published a photograph Thursday of one of Erdogan’s aides kicking a protester who was being held on the ground by armed police.

An explosion Tuesdayset off a fire just as workers were preparing for a shift change, trapping hundreds. No miner has been brought out alive since before dawn Wednesday.

WASHINGTON – The State Department acknowledged Thursday it could have acted sooner to designate Nigeria’s Boko Haram a foreign terrorist organization, even though the Nigerian government and many Africa experts opposed the move when it was first considered two years ago.

The acknowledgment – accompanied by a caveat that it is impossible to say if an earlier designation would have had a significant impact on the group – came amid Republican criticism of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s decision not to take the step in 2012.

And it was made as senior U.S. officials declared to Congress that freeing the schoolgirls abducted by the radical Islamist group last month has become one of the Obama administration’s top priorities.

As the 276 girls entered a second month in captivity that has sparked global outrage, senior officials from the State Department, the Pentagon and the U.S. Agency for International Development told a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee that the U.S. is committed to assisting Nigeria in combatting the al-Qaida-linked Boko Haram as it expands its reach and builds capacity for more sophisticated and deadlier terror attacks.

At the same time, though, the officials lamented limitations on U.S. cooperation with the Nigerian military due to its poor human rights record. And they expressed concern about the Nigerian government’s commitment to fight the group and the ability of the Nigerian army to do so.

OUR VIEW

Prepare for state’s 200th Illinois officially began planning for its 200th birthday when Gov. Pat Quinn signed an executive order this week. Good for him. Next up: appointing Bicentennial Commission members, deciding what to do, and figuring out how to pay for it.

Gov. Pat Quinn is a busy man these days.

An unfinished budget, uncertainty about extending the income tax hike, billions of dollars in unpaid bills, and the state’s multibillion-dollar debt rest heavily on his shoulders.

Quinn is under scrutiny for hiring practices in the Department of Transportation and for his handling of a neighborhood anti-violence program in Chicago.

And he faces a strong challenger in the November election in the person of Republican Bruce Rauner.

Yet, the governor took time Monday to look ahead to 2018, the state’s 200th birthday, and announce the start of planning for that big event.

Quinn signed an executive order to create the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial Commission. He called it a grass-roots organization that will plan a celebration that will be meaningful to every state resident and also spur history-based tourism.

The Bicentennial Commission has a big job ahead of it.

Its duties are to plan and coordinate events, activities, publications, digital media, and other things regarding Illinois’ 200th anniversary.

About 50 commission members, all volunteers, will be appointed in the coming months, Quinn said. While legislative leaders and the directors of seven cabinet departments will nominate members, the governor will name the lion’s share.

We urge Quinn to be certain that all regions of the state are adequately represented.

In the governor’s statement, it was noted that the state Bicentennial Commission will use as its guide the “highly successful 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial observance.”

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Short-term politics vs. long-term politics WASHINGTON – Ten days before he died, John F. Kennedy met in the White House for several hours with his political advisers. The 1964 campaign was taking shape – Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller were the leading Republican rivals – and the president was worrying about what his party had to offer to average voters. “[W]hat is it that we can [do to] make them decide that they want to vote for us, Democrats and Kennedy?” the president asked. “We hope we have to sell them prosperity, but for the average guy the prosperity is nil. He’s not unprosperous, but he’s not very prosperous ... And the people who really are well-off hate our guts. ...”

That very conversation could be held in Barack Obama’s White House. He’s not running for re-election, but his Democrats face the voters in November’s midterm congressional elections, and then his political heirs do so again in the presidential election two years hence.

And now, as on Nov. 12, 1963, when Kennedy thought out loud in front of

National perspective David M. Shribman his advisers, the average guy is not very prosperous and the people who really are well-off hate the Democrats’ guts.

The Democrats do have some advantages. Three of the four biggest states have growing Hispanic populations and the fourth, New York, seems permanently out of reach for the GOP. Mitt Romney took only a quarter of the Hispanic vote in 2012 and John McCain won only a third four years earlier.

But that is not to say the Democrats have smooth sailing ahead.

They face several substantial problems in 2016: • The solidification of the Solid South. The Republicans can count on the support of white voters who are as loyal to the GOP as black voters are to the Democrats. Though Obama will not be on the ballot in 2016, the Democrats speak a language white

Southerners do not embrace.

Still, there are quiet but growing hopes among Democrats that they may eventually return to power in Texas, which has voted Republican in the last nine presidential elections and in 10 of the 11 elections since 1972. Census figures show the Hispanic portion of the population of Texas is more than double the national rate – more than a third of Texans do not speak English at home – and whites now constitute less than half the state’s population. In 2012, 70 percent of Hispanics in Texas voted for Obama.

Yet the Democrats harbor no such bright hopes in Oklahoma (67 percent for Romney), Alabama and Arkansas (61 percent each), Louisiana (58 percent), Mississippi (56 percent) – and even in a Southern-oriented state that broke away from the Confederacy a century and a half ago, West Virginia (62 percent). Those states account for 41 electoral votes, blunting the potential drift of Texas’ 38 electoral votes from the Republican column.

2018.

Bequests, grants, and other donations should be sought as well.

While tax dollars could be appropriated, we believe the celebration should not rely solely on them because of Illinois’ other financial obligations.

However the money is raised, it should be deposited in an account where it can’t be swept aside to use for other purposes – a budgetary tactic for which Quinn’s former boss, Blagojevich, was infamous.

Illinois celebrated its 1918 Centennial by constructing the Centennial Building in Springfield and launching the re-creation of log cabins at Lincoln’s New Salem State Park, among other things.

Projects of similar permanent value should be planned for 2018.

On Dec. 3, 1818, Illinois officially became a state. By the time Dec. 3, 2018, rolls around, Illinois needs to be well prepared to appropriately mark the milestone.

Illinois Concealed Carry Permit

• Resentment over the state of the economy and lingering worries about Obamacare.

Several studies indicate that the recovery from the Great Recession has been less robust than that of any post-war recovery, producing a job market more forbidding than that of previous recessions.

That notion was underscored by Fed Chair Janet Yellen, who in a speech this spring acknowledged, “the recovery still feels like a recession to many Americans, and it also looks that way in some economic statistics.”

She noted national unemployment is still higher than it ever got during the 2001 recession.

This is a particular burden to blacks, who won’t have as great an incentive to vote in 2016 as they did when Obama ran in 2008 and 2012, and to younger voters, who may not be as

mobilized for the 2016 Democratic nominee as they were for Obama in 2008. These two groups, Yellen said, “are facing a job market today that is nearly as tough as it was during the two downturns that preceded the Great Recession.”

At the same time, the public remains skeptical of Obamacare, and the Republicans remain convinced it can be an important issue in both this year’s midterm congressional elections and in the 2016 presidential election.

The Democrats have another problem: If Clinton doesn’t run, the party has a weak bench, led by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and followed by a handful of

relative unknowns.

But the difficulty a Democrat faces succeeding Obama is perhaps the party’s most difficult hurdle, and also the most surprising. Many analysts believed that 2008 signaled a generation-long Democratic breakthrough.

That seems less plausible today. In the long run, demography suggests the Republicans are in trouble.

In the short run, the issues suggest the Democrats may be in trouble.

Well, that might be one way to look at it.

However, then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich significantly toned down the Lincoln Bicentennial by cutting its $8.7-million-dollar budget to only $3 million.

While the Land of Lincoln did pay tribute to its most famous former resident, the pared-down budget didn’t help matters.

We urge Quinn and the Legislature to begin thinking now about how to pay for the Illinois Bicentennial.

Commemorative coins, history books, and souvenirs could be created and sold, with the proceeds earmarked for the bicentennial.

State income tax forms could be modified to allow for voluntary gifts to the bicentennial fund when people file their tax returns.

Perhaps the Illinois Lottery could create a game whose proceeds could be set aside for

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD MINOOKA SECTIONAL

Rogers shines as Minooka captures 1st sectional title

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Friday, May 16, 2014

MINOOKA – The Minooka girls track and field team hoped to have a big night when it hosted a 16-team Class 3A Sectional on Thursday.

And thanks to contributions throughout their lineup, the Indians not only assured themselves of a special evening, but also a historical one.

Coach Kevin Gummerson’s squad won titles in five events to defeat runner-up Yorkville by a 96-84 margin to capture its first sectional championship in the sport.

Minooka qualified nine individuals in nine different events for next weekend’s state finals at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

“It’s great to see how the kids responded to the pressure,” Gummerson said. “Every one of our kids, the ones who scored and those who didn’t, competed with a fire that they didn’t have before.

Janile won the long jump in dramatic fashion and that got everyone excited and it just kept building throughout the night, and that’s what you have to have to win a championship. I love seeing them so excited about this since they put in a lot of work.”

Leading the way for the Indians was senior Janile Rogers. The three-time state qualifier turned in a memorable effort after winning titles in the long jump (18-11.5) and the 100-meter dash (12.31 seconds) and anchoring winning efforts in the 4x200 (1:43.91) and 4x400 (4:03.31) relays.

Joining Rogers on the 4x200 relay were Latricia Dean, Megan Caldwell and Emma Tonelli while Ashleigh Wilson, Moira McAsey and

Tonelli ran with Rogers in the 4x400 relay.

“This feels amazing,” Rogers said. “I’ve been working hard to get here and my goal was to be able to make it to state in all of my events and I was able to achieve that. And to win our first sectional ever is a big accomplishment, but we’re going to keep working and for next weekend. I’m real excited and looking forward to a lot of competition at state.”

The Indians received good efforts all night long from individuals who performed better than they were seeded in their events.

But that was no better demonstrated than in the discus, where junior Alexis Pease captured top honors in the event (116-10) after entering as the eighth-seed in that throw.

“It’s nice to be on a team like this and to have the support,” Pease said. “That makes it easier to just go out and do what you know how to do.

Win or lose, the other people are here for you. We qualified in nine events and it’s amazing how we came together as a team. This is absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t trade this feeling for anything.”

The Indians just missed winning two more titles as Ashley Tutt was edged at the wire in the 3,200 (11:00.96) and Wilson suffered the same fate in the 400 (59.73).

Also finishing second for Minooka was McAsey in the 800 (2:16.19) while Mackenzie Callahan took third and qualified in the 1,600 (5:12.29).

Plainfield North (35) was the only other local team to finish in the top half of the field, claiming sixth place.

Minooka’s Janile Rogers competes in the long jump Thursday during the IHSA girls Class 3A Sectional Championship at Minooka High School. Rogers won the long jump and qualified for state next weekend.

Plainfield Central, Joliet Central and Plainfield South also participated.

North had the only other area champion, junior Khristian Jones, who edged Wilson at the wire to take top honors in the 400 (59.72).

“I worked so hard for this,” Jones said. “I battled a hamstring injury since the beginning of the year, so I wanted this really bad. All of the re-

hab and hard practices after coming back have paid off.

This blows my mind since I didn’t think that I was going to win. I was just planning on getting first or second to make it to state. So, I’m ecstatic.”

The Tigers also qualified Anna Laudizio in a pair of events. She took second in the triple jump (36-0) and was third in the long jump (176.25).

Joliet West’s Jade Mayes took second in the 100 hurdles (15.79) while Plainfield East’s Mikaela Manson had the same finish in the 300 hurdles (45.9).

Other area qualifiers were Plainfield East’s Taylor Cogdell, who took third in the 800 (2:16.45), and Plainfield Central’s Jazmyne Tabb, who was fourth in the triple jump (35-8).

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND I WOULDN’T TRADE THIS FEELING FOR ANYTHING.” Alexis Pease, Minooka junior who earned top honors in discus

Plainfield Central second baseman Johnny Kostelz tags out Plainfield North’s Jason Pacanowski at second base as he tried to turn a single into a double during Thursday’s game at Plainfield Central. Central won, 1-0.

PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 1, PLAINFIELD NORTH 0

Weitendorf, Wildcats blank Tigers in SPC play

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Austin Weitendorf understands the value of throwing strikes.

The Plainfield Central senior right-hander walked nobody and finished off Southwest Prairie heavyweight Plainfield North in 84 pitches Thursday afternoon as Central prevailed in a snappy thriller, 1-0.

The game had been scheduled at North but was switched to Central because of field conditions. The Wildcats were the visitors.

Weitendorf and North senior right-hander Robbie Gesbocker were locked in a scoreless duel through five innings.

Central (15-15, 9-9), which managed two hits with usual No. 2 and 3 hitters Christian Armstrong (broken cheekbone) and Matt Ryan (pneumonia) out of the lineup, used the bunting game to manufacture the only run in the top of the sixth.

Danny Brandon was hit by a pitch and was sacrificed to second by Matt Bunetta, who reached safely on a high throw

Plainfield Central starting pitcher Austin Weitendorf throws against Plainfield North during Thursday’s game. He had zero walks and thew only 84 pitches for the win. to first. Austin Blazevic sacrificed the runners to second and third.

With the infield playing in, Kyle Kudla drove in the run on a ground ball between third and short. North shortstop Zach Jarosz made a diving stop but had only one play, to throw out Kudla at first.

North (24-5, 16-2) finished with eight hits off Weitendorf, including two long doubles by Richard Bryza, a double and

single by Jason Pacanowski and two singles Kyle Strepek.

Pacanowski’s second hit led off the seventh, but center fielder Brandon got him out when Pacanowski attempted to stretch it into a double.

“It’s crazy,” Weitendorf said of beating North. “I owe it all to our defense, the way they were making plays. All the guys did a great job. I’m proud of them.”

Weitendorf’s breaking ball

was especially effective, and he also got his fastball over.

“Their kid pitched real well,” North coach John Darlington said. “He threw two pitches for strikes. He battled us.”

North is tied with Minooka for the SPC lead. The teams meet in a three-game series next week to conclude the conference season.

“This was a big game for us,” Darlington said. “[Gesbocker] pitched real well. He didn’t have his best stuff, but he battled and kept us in it.”

North had runners on second and third with one out in the fourth, Pacanowski’s leadoff double in the fifth and Bryza’s one-out double in the sixth. But Weitendorf met every challenge.

“We had our chances,” Darlington said. “We had guys in scoring position and couldn’t get the big hit.”

Central coach John Rosner said the key inning was the fifth.

“They had the leadoff double and decided against bunting,” he said. “That was big. It worked out for us.

“We didn’t hit a lot, but we got the bunts down just about every time.”

The exception was the top of the seventh, when Rosner called for a suicide squeeze, the batter missed the ball and the runner was hung out to dry. A huge insurance run went by the boards, but Brandon throwing out Pacanowski at second to lead off the bottom of the seventh put the momentum back in Weitendorf’s court.

“That was our defense doing the job like they did all day,” Weitendorf said. “I probably pitched as well as I have all these years [of high school], but I was just happy to try to do what I can.”

Beating North, which prevailed 2-1 and 4-0 in the first two games of this series, hasn’t happened often for most SPC members in recent years.

“We beat them once a couple of years ago,” Rosner recalled.

“They’re a good program. All the credit in the world goes to them. But [Weitendorf] was effective. When you let your defense play and it plays well, good things happen.”

The rumors have circulated ever since Ty Isaac arrived on the University of South California campus. Now they have come to fruition.

USC has released the former Joliet Catholic All-American running back from his scholarship after one season and he will be transferring, reportedly to a school in the Midwest.

Isaac was quoted that his mother has not been feeling well, which was a major factor in his decision to attend a school closer to home.

After a record-setting career at JCA, Isaac rushed for 236 yards in 40 carries, a 5.9 average, as a USC freshman.

However, the Trojans have a logjam of talent at the tailback spot and three underclassmen probably would have begun the fall ahead of him on the depth chart.

Isaac had offers from all the Big Ten schools and Notre Dame while in high school.

USC, Notre Dame and Michigan were his final three at the time.

Slammers’ hope to apply the pressure early on Joliet opens regular season Friday vs.

Southern Illinois VIEWS Dick Goss The shift is on.

At least it will be at times this season at Silver Cross Field.

Joliet Slammers manager Jeff Isom had experience coaching and managing in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. The Brewers were at the forefront of the recent trend, shifting three infielders to the right side of second base, one usually in short right field, to build a roadblock and mess with the mind of a strong left-handed pull hitter.

“You will see a lot of shifts from us,” Isom promised.

“You might see us play our infield in as soon as the first inning, too.

“We’re going to be aggressive on the bases and we’ll be bunting. We’ll hit-and-run a little. The whole philosophy is to pressure the opponent’s hitters and pressure their defense, make them feel uncomfortable.”

The Slammers hope to turn up the heat when they open the Frontier League season at 7:05 p.m. Friday against the Southern Illinois Miners.

Between the opening-day ceremonies, the cuisine, the amenities and the postgame fireworks, a good time will be had by all.

Isom wants what happens between the white lines this summer to be a huge item in the Slammers’ entertainment package. Playing aggressive, unorthodox baseball plays into that.

“I know there will be times when they beat our shift, and somebody will say, ‘What’s the matter with Isom? What’s he doing leaving that big hole in the infield?’ But that’s OK, we think we will come out ahead in the long run doing different things and making the game fun,” he said.

The Slammers suffered through a 38-57 season a year

Slammers Manager Jeff Isom stands with the team during the Nation Anthem during Tuesdays’ final exhibition game. The Slammers open up their season Friday against Southern Illinois.

“You will see a lot of shifts from us. You might see us play our infield in as soon as the first inning, too.”

Jeff Isom Joliet Slammers coach ago, so fans can be forgiven if they adopt a wait-and-see attitude toward 2014.

However, there are reasons believe things will flow in a much more positive direction this season.

For one, Isom has been there. He managed the Joliet JackHammers for two years about a decade ago. He gained significant experience with the Brewers, and last year the Lake Eric Crushers reached the Frontier League championship series under his direction.

He has three members of the 2013 Crushers here on his opening-day roster. They include slugging first baseman/designated hitter Russell Moldenhauer, slick-fielding shortstop Casper Maxwell and relief pitcher Jordan Wellander, a candidate for the closer role.

Slammers batter Marquis Riley watches his hit as he heads for first during Tuesdays’ final exhibition game.

He didn’t bring just any Crushers with him to Joliet. He brought players he strongly felt could help the Slammers erase any lingering memories of 2013.

The Slammers’ lineup will have excitement at the top with speedy outfielder Darian Sandford and punch in the

middle with Moldenhauer, Adam Giacalone and Marquis Riley. Jose Garcia, Grant DeBruin and C.J. Epperson are among others who will add some pop. DeBruin should be ready after a hamstring tweak sidelined him the last half of the exhibition season, which the Slammers finished 4-3.

“We will put some runs on the board,” Isom said.

Ultimately, however, as with all baseball teams, the Slammers’ fate likely will rest with how well they pitch, and how well the defense supports the pitchers.

Danny Hernandez gets the ball on opening night. Kansas City selected him in the 12th round of the 2010 draft, and in three minor league seasons with the Royals, his combined ERA was 2.81.

Blair Walters probably will go Saturday night and Matt Dillon on Sunday afternoon in the series finale. Michael Johnson and Andrew Busby will round out the rotation.

The bullpen looks to be the team’s strength. Isom said he is looking for six solid innings night after night from the starters. If he gets it, he feels the bullpen will take care of the rest.

At the risk of being a name-dropper, I’ll note that one of the Slammers’ top relievers is Sam Moore, son of longtime major league pitcher Mike Moore, a 1989 All-Star.

Name recognition adds a little something to what promises to be a fun summer. See you at the ballpark.

CLUB SOCCER

Soccer academy out of Naperville, Niles focuses on development, fundamentals

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent

Photo provided

Zachary Bargas, 13, of Plainfield has played for the Olympiacos Soccer Academy for the last two and a half years. The club focuses on development and fundamental of players.

Olympiacos has five teams that play in the Northern Illinois Soccer League. There are approximately 60 kids in the program with half playing in Naperville and half in Niles.

Kosmas said several kids from the Plainfield area play on the teams in Naperville.

The tots program features 55 kids ages 3 to 6 who are taught basics with an emphasis on physical fitness and building self-confidence.

The coaching staff is headed by Niko Mirtsekis, a former professional player in the Champions League and national team member in Greece; Mario Dukovac, who coached at University of St. Francis; assistant USF coach Bert Badertscher; James Kriticos; Dan Nguyen; Shannon

Baker-Javaras; and Kosmas.

“Coach Niko has taught us things that will help us in the future,” said Bargas, who has a younger brother, Caden, 8, who plays in the program. “He focuses on things we have problems on. He’s a professional soccer player who has played at the highest levels,” Olympiacos also offers its players a chance to train overseas at the Olympiacos academies in Greece.

“We receive our curriculum and our direction from the parent club,” Kosmas said. “We offer our kids an opportunity to experience the whole international atmosphere, not only from a playing standpoint but also from a cultural standpoint.”

Olympiacos team members and parents also participate in philanthropic activities. In January, parents and team members visited the pediatric unit at Edward Hospital in Naperville, bringing gifts for the patients and a large donation for the unit.

Olympiacos F.C. will travel to the United States to play Liverpool F.C. on July 27 at Soldier Field as part of the Guinness International Champions Cup. Kosmas said around that time there will be a three-day scouting event and camp that will allow the academy’s players to be seen and trained by members of the Olympiacos F.C. staff.

Zachary Bargas of Plainfield started playing for Olympiacos Soccer Academy two and a half years ago, and he immediately noticed a difference between his new team and his old club.

“The practices are a lot harder, and we’re learning new things every single time out there,” said the 13-yearold who plays on the club’s U-14 team.

That is what Yiannis Kosmas, a native of Greece, was looking for when he and his wife, Angela, met with officials of Olympiacos F.C., the most successful professional club in Greece, four years ago to pitch them on the idea of setting up a soccer academy in the United States.

Kosmas convinced the team to open its first and only academy in the United States in the Chicago area. Now, two and a half years into the venture, the Olympiacos Soccer Academy has a presence in both Naperville and Niles.

“I always thought it was tough to find the right club and the right coaching for my kids,” Kosmas said. “That’s what started my passion to create a club that would teach the fundamentals to the kids, and the best way to do that is to combine the actual player

development with the ability to give kids the opportunity to play at the highest level possible.

“Olympiacos has played in the Champions League every year for the last 17 years.

They play at the highest level. Angela and I talked about what we could do to bring that type of academy training here, and we sat down and put a proposal together.

“We flew to Greece and presented it to Olympiacos.

They loved the idea because it gave Olympiacos a presence in the United States, and they knew the United States was an untapped market with a lot of talent here.”

What separates the Olympiacos Soccer Academy from other clubs is its focus on player development and fundamentals.

“I tell parents that if they are bringing their kids here because they want to win all the time, we are not the right club for them,” Kosmas said.

“We are the club that teaches kids how to play soccer.”

“We didn’t win a single game in the winter season because we played against high school players. The ball moved so much faster, but now because of that, the game has slowed down for us, so now we know where to move the ball and why to move it there,” Bargas said.

CARDINALS 5, CUBS 3

Hammel gives up key hit to Wacha

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, May 16, 2014

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS – Jason Hammel struck out the side to start the game. That fast start quickly unraveled for the Cubs righthander.

Hammel gave up four runs in the second inning and the Cubs lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-3, on Thursday.

St. Louis rookie pitcher Michael Wacha’s two-run single in between a run-scoring groundout by Yadier Molina and Matt Carpenter’s RBI double was the key hit in the inning.

“It’s a kiss of death to strike out the side in the first inning,” Hammel said. “Today was probably the best physically I’ve felt all year.

That’s the way the game works. Sometimes it doesn’t work out. I was able to battle through it and keep us in it for a while.

“I was aggressive, but I wasn’t quality aggressive.

That’s where I’ve got to make my adjustments. A lot of it was just bad timing for misses. I was confident in what I was doing. It was a little bit of a labor,” he said.

Hammel (4-2) gave up five runs on five hits and two walks in 51⁄3 innings, raising his ERA to 3.06. He struck out six.

The Cubs have lost nine of their last 11 and are off to the worst start in 39 games (13-26) since 2002.

Despite that statistic, Ham-

mel said he believes Chicago is not that far off.

“You’ve got to stay looking at the positives because we’ve played a lot of good ballgames,” Hammel said, “We’re not getting blown out. It’s not ugly games. It’s just one or two pitches here or there or one or two timely hits we haven’t gotten.

“We’re not just laying down. It’s frustrating but actually, we’ve played pretty good ball,” he said.

The 6-foot-6 Wacha (3-3) had lost his last three decisions since an April 13 win over the Cubs. The 22-year-old righthander allowed seven hits, including a homer, but did not walk a batter. He struck out five in seven innings.

PREAKNESS STAKES

Trainer has his best horse in Preakness at 85 now. Not when he has Social Inclusion, a precocious colt with just three career races under his belt but a wealth of talent.

Social Inclusion won his first start by 7½ lengths. In his second race, he won by 10 lengths and broke a track record at Florida’s Gulfstream Park. Then he finished third in the Wood Memorial, aced out for second by a nose. As a result, he came up short on the points list that determined the 20 horses who qualified for the Kentucky Derby.

So Azpurua and his horse waited for the Preakness, where Derby winner and overwhelming favorite California Chrome will try to

Social Inclusion is the solid 5-1 second choice in the 10-horse field.

A victory would make Azpurua the oldest trainer to saddle a Preakness winner, coming just two weeks after 77-year-old Art Sherman became the oldest to train a Derby winner in California Chrome.

“Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons was 82 years, 10 months when he won the 1957 Preakness with Bold Ruler.

“Every race is the same,” Azpurua said Thursday in a soft voice. “The only thing different is the name.”

By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press BALTIMORE – Manny Azpurua could be retired, enjoying the South Florida sunshine. He could walk away from training, secure in his success back in Venezuela, where he won more than 3,500 races before coming to the United States 35 years ago.

Few would begrudge him wanting an escape from the rigors of the racetrack – the pre-dawn wakeup calls, the physical labor, the constant worry about his horses.

Except that Azpurua is training the best horse of his life, at age 85. Heck, there’s no way he wants to call it quits

here are a host of reasons why Ram 1500 is Motor Trend’s “Truck of the Year” for a record second year in a row.

One is a 28-mile-pergallon rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for the Ram 1500 with the 240-horsepower, 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine. It was the best highwaycycle test result ever achieved by a full-size, half-ton pickup. With it, Ram 1500 now owns the half-ton pickup segment’s top two spots in the EPA’s 2014 highway fueleconomy rankings. Ram kept the half-ton fuel-economy record it set in 2013, with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 gasoline engine and a 25 mpg highway rating.

“For 2014 we had a large and highly competitive field of contenders for Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year,” said Edward Loh, Editor-in-Chief of Motor Trend. “At the end of the day, though, the Ram 1500 quickly rose to the top. Not only did it withstand our rigorous testing, it thoroughly impressed our judges with its vast array of standard

adno=0260200

Ram 1500 does it all … work, play, travel and optional equipment and, most notable, its fuel-efficient, segmentexclusive EcoDiesel V-6.”

Depending on your needs and wants, Ram 1500 trim levels each offer a unique appearance so your Ram can be your Ram. Choices are the Tradesman, Express, HFE, SLT, Big Horn/Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Sport, Laramie and Laramie Longhorn. It is available in three configurations: Regular Cab, Quad Cab and Crew Cab. Depending on your choice, it can carry up to six passengers.

Other engines include the 305hp, 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and, for performance fans, the hefty 395-horsepower, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, which will catapult the Ram from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.

An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard with the 3.6-liter and EcoDiesel, and available with the Hemi.

Available are rear-wheel, parttime, and on-demand four-wheeldrive transfer cases.

For meeting a variety of needs, back end hauling capacity is

The EcoDiesel engine is one of many reasons why Motor Trend chose the Ram 1500 as “Truck of the Year” for 2014. Ram 1500 with the EcoDiesel (pictured) can tow an estimated 9,200 lbs., more than enough for any family vacation, especially when selected as a spacious Quad Cab.

available in three pickup box lengths: 8-foot (regular cab), 6-foot-4-inch (regular cab and Quad Cab), and 5-foot-7-inch (Ram 1500 Crew Cab). The Ram 1500’s towing capacity ranges from 3,450 to a whopping 10,400 pounds (9,200 lbs. with the EcoDiesel engine), and it has a maximum payload of 5,110 pounds.

Top new and upgraded features

for 2014 are air ride suspension, which adds smoothness to the Ram’s quiet cabin, Uconnect multimedia infotainment interface that connects via an available 8.4-inch touchscreen, and upgraded interior materials and design for more style and comfort (rated among Ward’s 10 Best Interiors).

Supporting each other, the community Four Joliet artists combine their talent to produce original shows; first one premieres Saturday “I’m excited to see what we can do as a group in and for Joliet. We all love the arts and we’re grateful for the people who worked with us and made us who we are today.”

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The mother of a young prize fighter suddenly dies. His absentee father reappears in his life. Love.

Healing. Redemption.

These are the themes addressed in “The Love Movement,” the first original music theater production

by Artistically Speaking, a group of four Joliet-bornand-raised artists who have joined their collective talents of dance, choreography, music composition and script writing to create live performance art for the Joliet area.

“We had done different artistic ventures independently,” said Crystal Malone, 29, of Joliet, a dance artist and law student. “I thought maybe we could come together and do something to support each other and the community.”

Other members are Eric Jordan, 32 of Joliet, a fulltime musical artist; Betina Dunson-Johnson, 29, of Yorkville, choreographer and dance teacher at Oak Park and River Forest High School; and Kaitlin Morris, 29, of Joliet, playwright and employee for the state.

“I’m excited to see what we can do as a group in and for Joliet,” Dunson-Johnson said. “We all love the arts and we’re grateful for the people who worked with us and made us who we are today.”

Morris’ inspiration for the 90-minute “The Love Movement” came from two sources: Her role as a co-owner of a martial arts business and the group’s desire for a production centering on self-love and self-forgiveness.

It’s not the typical church play or community theater musical, Morris said, but she enjoys “breaking the mold” and giving the audience thought-provoking and con-

“I like to address uncomfortable topics,” Morris said, “and to create a platform to discuss issues that affect individuals and communities.”

While growing up, Morris wrote and acted out skits for fun and for her church, Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Joliet. She also journaled her thoughts and shared them with her mother because Morris found it easier to express impressions and emotions through writing instead of speaking.

Morris majored in cre-

ative writing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. That degree led Morris to write sports newscasts while interning at a radio station, which she relished as much as penning a play.

“In my mind, that’s the same as script writing, since it’s read aloud,” Morris said.

“I love writing anything that can be performed in some way.”

The Artistically Speaking website, at kasmorris.wix. com/artisticallyspeaking, said Morris had a stint with the 14-time Emmy award

winning Baltimore Raven’s broadcast department and the NCAA Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. She also wrote lead-ins for NFL Sportscaster Dick Stockton and worked with Super Bowl winners and sportscasters Daryl Johnston and Tony Siragusa.

Like Morris, Malone is interested in social issues – except Malone expresses them through dance instead of writing, she said. Although Malone danced at both La Danse Academie in Joliet and Generation Dance Company in Joliet, and took lessons in both flute and piano, her artistic preference, for many years, was drama.

Malone participated in the youth drama programs offered through the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park in Joliet and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre arts (with a concentration in dance) from Howard University in Washington, D.C. Eventually, dance became

Malone’s preferred medium – she has a master’s degree in fine art in dance performance and choreography from The College at Brockport State University of New York – although she initially found it the hardest to master.

“I found myself more emotionally connected to dance than any of the other art forms,” Malone said.

“There’s something special about communicating without saying anything, just allowing your body to ‘speak.’ ” Dunson-Johnson’s professional dance training was through Perfect Rhythm Dance Academy and New Generation Dance Company (both in Joliet) and Ohio State University, where she studied with a variety of professional dancers, the website said.

According to the website, Eric Jordan studied music performance and education at Illinois State University in Normal. Jordan also has “performed and toured” with Sotto Voce Tuba Quartet, the Brass Band of Central Illinois and the ISU Wind Symphony, with which Jordan has recorded four compact discs. Jordan also has won many scholarships and awards.

He hopes attendees to Artistically Speaking productions walk away feeling positive and uplifted and that inspires other people to “go out into the world to be artists.”

QUICKCRITIC REVIEWS OF NEW MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“GODZILLA” STARRING: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston

PLOT: The world’s most famous monster is pitted against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem and creature violence TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes VERDICT: No one can blame Gareth Edwards for admittedly feeling nervous when asked to helm a remake of the biggest monster movie of all time. Sure, the only other film he had directed happened to be 2010’s “Monsters.” But this time, it was Godzilla. Well, the latest iteration of the 60-year-old franchise is in capable hands. Edwards’ “Godzilla” is a pleasingly paced 3-D spectacle that pays chilling homage to the artful legacy of the original 1954 film – Ishiro Honda’s “Gojira” – while emerging as its own prodigious monster movie. Created as a symbol of the nuclear threat after America’s atomic attacks on Japan in World War II, Godzilla’s reappearance suggests the nuclear tests conducted by the U.S. in the Pacific after the war were really meant to hold the radioactive dinosaur back. This story begins in Japan in 1999 as nuclear physicist Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston, edgy in an unbearable wig) investigates questionable seismic activity at a nuclear power plant on the coast of India. When a team at the plant, including his scientist wife, Sandra (an underused Juliette Binoche), dies in what everyone believes is a natural disaster, Joe dedicates his life to proving that what caused the devastation was anything but natural. His obsession creates a rift between him and his son, Ford. Fifteen years later, we catch up with Ford (played by a placid but sexy Aaron Taylor-Johnson) in San Francisco, where he lives with his wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and their son. Serving in the U.S. Navy, Ford disarms bombs, a skill that later helps him save the planet from MUTOs – “Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism” – that emerge from a long dormancy and begin traveling the globe, feeding on radiation. Screenwriter Max Borenstein, working from a story by Dave Callaham, doesn’t bombard us with multiple narratives or a multitude of characters. Instead, the film focuses on Ford’s family story. When we finally see Godzilla – just shy of an hour into the film – the anticipation has built to such a degree

that we expect to be awe-struck. And we are. His terrifying yet textured roar shakes the theater. Honoring the eerie music of the original, this film’s score by Alexandre Desplat (“Argo”) is equally menacing. In the hands of visual effects guru Jim Rygiel (“The Lord of the Rings” franchise), the contemporary take looks incredibly fluid and Godzilla’s movements appear far more natural. But we’re not bombarded with excessive CGI here. Godzilla isn’t oversold, although for some, his lack of screentime won’t be satisfying enough. However, the balance between the family-focused story line and intense action sequences is bound to please others.

While the predictable sequel has not yet been confirmed, one thing is clear: Edwards’ version of “Godzilla” remains the ultimate monster movie.

The legacy has been upheld.– The

“MILLION DOLLAR ARM” STARRING: Jon Hamm, Aasif Mandvi, Alan Arkin

PLOT: A sports agent stages an unconventional recruitment strategy to get talented Indian cricket players to play Major League Baseball.

RATED: PG for mild language and some suggestive content TIME: 2 hours, 42 minutes VERDICT: Let’s face it, there’s something about a baseball movie that just invites corniness. The hardest hearts soften at the mere sound of a cracking bat. It’s hard for a filmmaker to resist laying the syrup on too thick. And so it is with the Disney film “Million Dollar Arm,” which makes a direct, uncomplicated, er, pitch for your heart – a pitch that will probably hit its mark, despite your best instincts. Oh well.

Somehow, this flaw doesn’t feel like the biggest crime – especially when you have a high-quality cast at work. The quality starts with Jon Hamm, who by virtue of his wellknown charisma, makes a good case for his future film career, now that his days as Don Draper on TV’s “Mad Men” are sadly ending. Like Draper, Hamm’s character here, the real-life sports agent JB Bernstein (the film’s based on a true story), has a certain narcissism at his core.

Unlike Draper, however, this isn’t a deeply drawn character. Whatever faults he displays at the beginning (he prefers to date sexy models, and he wants to make money – oh no!) are pretty much neatly cured by the end. In any case, the best parts

of the story are actually not about Bernstein, but about the two young Indian men he brings to America in hopes of creating the next international baseball sensation.

Hence the title, “Million Dollar Arm,” which is the contest that Bernstein devises to find his young stars. As the film begins, Bernstein and his partner Ash (the always entertaining Aasif Mandvi) are searching for ways to revive their flagging business. A failure to land a major account means they can’t even pay their LA office rent. One night, though, idly channel-flipping between a cricket game and Susan Boyle’s famous out-of-nowhere audition on “Britain’s Got Talent,” Bernstein comes up with the idea to find cricket players who might be able to pitch a baseball. Thus begins a picturesque journey through the Indian countryside – making for director Craig Gillespie’s most compelling visuals – for Bernstein and the wise-cracking, constantly napping baseball scout he recruits, Ray (the reliably cranky Alan Arkin) and a local baseball fanatic working for free, Amit (sweetly played by the comic actor Pitobash). Most of the young men they find can’t pitch worth a darn. But ultimately they come across Dinesh (the handsome Madhur Mittal, of “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (the soulful Suraj Sharma, who starred in “Life of Pi”).

Neither is actually a cricket player.

But no matter – they can throw.

Back in Los Angeles, Bernstein gets to work setting up a Major League tryout, hiring a canny baseball coach (Bill Paxton) to get the boys ready in the impossible time frame of several months. Of course, there are yet more obstacles. The two are homesick. Forced to live in Bernstein’s apartment, they wreak havoc in his dating life. Luckily, the nextdoor neighbor, Brenda, is a pretty, smart, caring medical student (Lake Bell). This eventual relationship is telegraphed in such an obvious way, there might as well have been a subtitle when Brenda first appears: “SOON-TO-BE GIRLFRIEND.” Will the two players overcome their lack of training, their nervousness, and the cynical baseball press corps to have their moment of glory? Will Bernstein realize that there’s something more important than making money? Uh, have you ever seen a baseball movie? (And besides, we told you this was a true story.)

But let’s not nitpick. It’s a baseball movie! It’s heart-warming, and hey,

it has Jon Hamm. Enough said.– The

“Moms’ Night Out” STARRING: Sarah Drew, Sean Astin, Patricia Heaton

PLOT: All Allyson and her friends want is a peaceful, grown-up evening of dinner and fun – a long-needed moms’ night out. But in order to enjoy high heels, adult conversation and food not served in a bag, they need their husbands to watch the kids for a few hours ... what could go wrong?

RATED: PG for mild thematic elements and some action TIME: 1 hour, 38 minutes VERDICT: A few minutes into “Moms’ Night Out,” its aim becomes clear: to be a wholesome, earnest alternative to such crude sisterhood comedies as “Bridesmaids” and “The Other Woman,” as well as an antic portrait of modern families to rival, well, “Modern Family.” But this strained, clunkily orchestrated and dismally retrograde film – produced by one of its stars, Patricia Heaton – serves only to remind viewers why its metaphorical arms are too short to box with those predecessors.

The story of a harried stay-at-home mother named Allyson (Sarah Drew), “Moms’ Night Out” trafficks in the most patronizing images of women, either as addled, neurotic control freaks or haplessly dizzy dames. – The Washington Post

“Neighbors” STARRING: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron

PLOT: A couple with a newborn baby face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house.

RATED: Rated R for pervasive language, strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use throughout TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes VERDICT: Seth Rogen and Zac Efron make for amusing alter-egos in “Neighbors,” a shaggy, baggy collegiate comedy that is less a coherent movie than a loosely assembled series of lewd jokes and punishing slapstick routines. Unfortunately, one of the funniest sequences – involving a prank with purloined air bags – already has been overworked to death in “Neighbors” trailers. Viewers who find unbridled hilarity in the idea of babies eating condoms, men dueling with sex toys and 30-something yuppies keepin’ it trill by using words

such as “trill” will find much to value in “Neighbors.” It seems like just last year that Rogen was cinema’s reigning arrested adolescent, cavorting with pals James Franco and Jonah Hill in “This Is the End.” In “Neighbors,” Rogen is (almost) all grown up as Mac Radner, who with wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) is raising the world’s most awesome baby in a cozy college-town bungalow. When the house next door is sold to a fraternity, the Radners at first try to make nice with the group’s president, a bronzed, charming cock of the walk named Teddy (Efron), who immediately invites them in for beer and magic mushrooms. It’s all rainbows and unicorns, of course, until the frat’s next rager, which leads the Radners to call the police. What ensues is a picket-fence feud of escalating traps and dirty tricks. Directed with characteristic haphazard style by Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him to the Greek,” “The FiveYear Engagement”), “Neighbors” isn’t designed to impress with subtle comedy or clever construction. Rather, it’s a movie of whammies: one-liners, shticks and sight gags that don’t gain in momentum or accrue in meaning.

Although Byrne has some promising moments as a bored stay-at-home mom, and Lisa Kudrow shows up in a weirdly unfunny cameo as an uptight college dean, “Neighbors” is primarily a bromance: between Teddy and his best friend, Pete (Dave Franco), a bespectacled brain whose love for his Adonis-like leader is clearly much deeper than fraternal, and between Mac and Teddy. Rogen and Efron both prove to be excellent sports when “Neighbors” exploits their dramatically different physiques, first during an amusing dance-off and in an improbably rewarding payoff at the end. Until then, however, viewers must slog through all manner of crude, coarse, often lazily choreographed bits that feel rote and barely warmed-over, from a graphic anatomical stunt performed by the actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse to a dumb scene involving Robert DeNiro impressions. (If the part where Rogen and Efron engage in a “Batman” voice competition seems familiar, it’s because Steven Coogan and Rob Brydon did it first and better with Michael Caine impressions in “The Trip.”) Still, “Neighbors” will no doubt reward audiences who demand little more than a few broad, easy laughs to be entertained, which, after all, describes most filmgoers these days. – The Washington Post

A small plus may provide a big plus

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Albert Einstein said: “If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x, y is play, and z is keeping your mouth shut.”

If B is success in bridge, x is bidding, y is declarer-play and defense, and z is keeping your mouth shut whenever partner makes a mistake.

However, for success in today’s deal, South needs to find the best play to bring home nine tricks in no-trump. What should he do after West leads the heart jack?

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.

He has two principal chances to generate an extra winner: Find hearts 3-3 or establish a second spade trick.

The first is unlikely, given the lead, but declarer should take the first trick and cash another heart. When East follows, South can afford to cash his last heart; but here East discards a diamond.

How should declarer play the spades?

If entries were no issue, best would be to cash dummy’s ace, then to duck a round of the suit.

Dummy would be entered again and a third round led toward the queen.

Here, though, that is impossible. Some would just play a spade to the ace and return one to the queen – and here go down.

But it cannot cost to play a low spade from each hand on the first round of the suit.

When declarer regains the lead, he plays a spade to dummy’s ace. Here the king appears, but if his majesty does not, South could still lead toward his queen.

He would get home whenever East has the king, or the suit is 3-3, or West has king-singleton or king-doubleton.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips stand up and say, “Hey, folks. Let’s go out for a walk (or coffee, or a sandwich),” and put an end to her bid for attention that way.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend will have “scheduled” sex with me – only after he has had his shower in the evening or in the morning. It’s driving me crazy.

I have tried many ways to get him to have sex spontaneously, but he won’t budge. It’s starting to be a turn-off because it’s not the “right time.” What do I do? – Looser Than That In Detroit Dear Looser: Your boyfriend may have a touch of OCD, or need to feel “in control” when he has sex. In other words, if the encounter is not his idea and at the time he chooses, he doesn’t get turned on.

There’s help for him if he’s willing to admit there “may” be a problem. But if he isn’t, then find yourself another fella because

nothing is likely to change.

Dear Abby: My sister-in-law is being married in September. I am in the wedding. My wife and I are having a baby in June, but the bride does not want to include my new baby. I think she is concerned people will pay attention to the baby and not her.

Many distant relatives will attend and this may be the only time they will see my son.

She plans to invite more than 200 people. Am I right to be upset that my son, her nephew, is not invited? – John Doe In Plano, Texas Dear John Doe: I don’t think so.

It’s the bride’s day, and you should abide by her wishes without complaining.

If she prefers not to have her wedding disrupted by an infant who needs feeding or changing, it’s her choice.

Because you want to show off your new baby, bring along pictures and pass them around. I’m sure the relatives will be thrilled to see them.

Most hiatal hernias do not require treatment Dear Doctor K: My mother was recently diagnosed with a “sliding hernia.” What is this?

Dear Reader: A “sliding hernia” is a type of hiatal hernia. OK, so what’s a hiatal hernia? A hernia occurs when part of an organ juts through an opening into an area where it shouldn’t. The stomach is an organ that is supposed to stay in the abdomen, for example.

The abdomen is separated from the chest by a flat, dish-like plate of muscle called the diaphragm.

Above the diaphragm are the lungs, heart and esophagus (the swallowing tube). Below are the stomach, intestines and other abdominal organs. The very bottom of the esophagus and the very top of the stomach are joined right at the diaphragm.

A hiatal hernia is named for the hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm. Food swallowed down the esophagus normally enters the stomach just below the diaphragm. In most people, that opening is small enough that the stomach could not fit through it.

In a hiatal hernia, however, the upper part of the stomach slips up through the diaphragm into the chest. The term “sliding” means that the junction between the stomach and esophagus

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff moves up and down. Unlike the case in most people, the junction is not stuck right at the diaphragm. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put an illustration of a normal, tight hiatus and a hiatal hernia.)

Sliding hiatal hernias are very common. Smokers, overweight people and women older than 50 are more likely to develop one.

And certain activities or conditions that increase pressure within the abdomen can increase the risk of developing a sliding hiatal hernia. They include persistent or heavy coughing, vomiting, straining while defecating, sudden physical exertion and pregnancy.

Many people with hiatal hernias have no symptoms at all.

Hopefully, your mother is one of those. Others have heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux (GERD).

This tends to be worse when they lean forward, strain or lie down.

Still others may have a hard time swallowing, or chronic belching.

Sliding hiatal hernias rarely

cause major complications.

Most people with hiatal hernias do not require treatment. If your mother has reflux symptoms, lifestyle changes might help. For example, she can try eating smaller, more frequent meals. She should also avoid eating for at least two hours before going to bed and sit up for at least one hour after eating.

If lifestyle changes do not relieve her symptoms, medication can help. She can try one or more of the many antacids and acid blockers on the market.

Few people with a sliding hiatal hernia require surgery.

In fact, I’ve never had a patient with a hiatal hernia who required it. Surgery is usually reserved for patients who have persistent reflux symptoms or inflammation of the esophagus that does not heal with medication.

So, your mother has a quite common condition. And there almost surely will be good treatments for it – if your mother has symptoms from it.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 20 and the guy I’m seeing is 22. We met at a mutual friend’s party and have been dating for two months. Mike is a nice guy and always a gentleman when we are together.

I was invited to a baby shower for Mike’s sister a couple of weeks ago and, while I was there I met one of Mike’s ex-girlfriends. When I found out who she was, I introduced myself and told her I was dating Mike. I asked her why she broke up with him and she said that he had physically and sexually abused her, so she had him arrested and he was found guilty and spent time behind bars for his criminal behavior.

I was shocked and told her I couldn’t believe it about Mike.

She said that if I didn’t believe her to ask his sister. When I spoke with his sister, she admitted that it was true and that he had also abused another girlfriend. I left the shower and went home and cried.

When I saw Mike, he admitted that he slapped his ex-girlfriend because she was seeing another guy behind his back. He denied abusing his other girlfriend and gave me her number to call so it would prove that he wasn’t violent with her.

When I called her she said she had no comment and hung up on me. Now I don’t know what to think and I’m very confused because I think I might be in love with this guy. What is your advice? – Nameless, Schereville, Ind. Dear Nameless: Even if he behaves like a gentleman with you, I have to believe that an ex-girlfriend and his sister are truthful when they both say he is physically and sexually violent. Dump the guy immediately

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace before he gets violent with you.

Guys who batter females are psychologically ill and, without professional help, will continue this despicable and cowardly behavior when something triggers their aggression. It’s almost impossible for a guy to overcome this illness unless he receives the necessary professional treatment he so desperately needs.

Dr. Wallace: I’m amazed at all of the uproar over professional athletes that have admitted to or are suspected of using steroids. If an athlete chooses to have a bigger and stronger body by using steroids, what’s the big deal?

A lot of athletes take vitamin pills. Aren’t they doing the same thing – making the body more potent and more and more powerful? I think steroids should be considered legal. Do you agree? – Connor, Altoona, Pa. Dear Connor: Vitamin supplements do help all people, including athletes, to have a healthy body, but unlike steroids, they won’t cause immediate and longterm dangerous side effects, are not addictive and won’t cause physical deterioration that could result in death.

Steroids are banned in all forms of athletic competition.

Only those who place personal accomplishment above honor take the chance of not being caught as a steroid user.

Simply put, steroid users are cheaters!

Dear Abby: When my husband and I go to visit my mother (in another city) every other month or so, my brother and his wife insist on coming over to see us while we’re there. Our visits usually last two or three days.

Many times when they come over, my sister-in-law will start doing her exercise routine, including floor exercises, which are, in my husband’s and my opinion, unbecoming and inappropriate to do in front of other people.

How do we deal with this? Are we crazy to feel awkward when she’s lying on her back doing these pelvic thrusts? Would it be out of line to ask her NOT to do this in the future?

My brother says, “She won’t listen to me, so it wouldn’t do any good to talk to her,” so we know talking to her won’t help. What do you suggest? – Feeling Awkward Dear Feeling Awkward: Here’s how I’d handle it. Talk to her anyway, and ask her to please refrain from doing these exercises in your presence because it makes you uncomfortable. But if that doesn’t work and she starts “performing,”

Each proves to be talented, which is especially notable for Kilmer given that “Palo Alto” is his first movie.

Roberts and Kilmer play April and Teddy, two high-schoolers who harbor not-so-secret crushes on each other. But before they can profess their feelings, they both make drunken

decisions during a rager that drives a wedge between them. And so they go about their lives separately, and their stories are told through a series of vignettes.

We see April having imagined conversations in her bedroom and babysitting the son of her icky, flirtatious soccer coach (Franco).

Teddy, meanwhile, spends his time going to art class or doing mandatory community service, thanks in part to the negative influence of his best friend, Fred (Nat Wolff). Fred is a live wire, always taking things a step (or 10) too far. He holds an ominous sway over the movie, especially when he’s preying on Emily (Zoe Levin), a sadeyed loner who thinks promiscuity might be a path to love even though each tryst inevitably makes her feel dejected.

Like her aunt Sofia Coppola (“Lost in Translation,” “The Bling Ring”), Gia Coppola has a keen ability to create a mood. “Palo Alto” conjures the strange mix of malaise and desperation that marks adolescence.

But there are times when the

director tries too hard. Shots of dolls and stuffed animals in the same room as a pair of teens doing things their parents wouldn’t approve of sends a message about the complicated opposing forces during that purgatory between childhood and adulthood. But Coppola repeats the same not-so-subtle messaging again and again until the images lose their meaning.

“Palo Alto” starts strong but runs out of momentum. Strangely, as aimless vignettes give way to bigger life events – as April and her coach begin an affair and Fred grows increasingly erratic – the movie becomes less interesting.

Even so, this is an auspicious start for Coppola. She has room to improve, but she also has a wealth of potential advisers and, even better, at 27, also has the time.

• “Palo Alto” received two-anda-half stars out of four. The film is rated R and contains strong sexual content, nudity, drug and alcohol use and pervasive language, all involving teens. It runs 98 minutes.
